I only just bought this car 5 days ago. After a successful 800+ mile drive from Texas back to Alabama without a hitch, I managed to grenade the motor on a short drive with my wife. Not really sure what happened except that the crankshaft is absolutely broken. So I'm about to build myself a restomod.
Background on the car... I bought from a friend who has owned the car since the mid 90's. It was his mothers before that. He upgraded quite a bit of the car over the 20+ years. 306 HO motor with AODe with 4r70w guts and an 8.8 that is narrowed to fit properly. 65 mustang front suspension with 10" power disc brakes out front with all new pieces and parts.
My plan... TCI front IFS and rear 4-link, Wilwoods front & rear, and best of all...2015 Mustang 2.3L Ecoboost and 6-sp tranny.
Pics of it as I picked it up.
